KHOODEELAAR! including Alex Salmond as a witness in the list - constitutional law action against ‘Crossrail Big Business agenda’: 'stop the spivs' [123]


The word spivs was used most noticeably last week by the SNP leader Alex Salmond. In fact, his use of that word was featured on more UK-wide news outlets prominently than any of his ‘Scottish’ utterances, as such, for a long while.

And no other UK professional political had either said anything that was given that prominence nor had anyone come up with any similar statement as Salmond did ion the middle of the week that Gordon Brown descried [in his preliminary appearance at the plastic platform in Manchester on Saturday 20 September 2008] as unprecedented…..

So it is interesting that a whole lot of imitators have appeared on the scene, seeking to suggest that THEY, and not Alex Salmond, had made the statement.

Well, they will be denied that claim.

As far as the verbal, sound-byte focus on the spivs go, it is Alex Salmond that successfully claimed his spot.

KHOODEELAAR! Is now going to review our own de facto analysis of the spivs that we have done in the past almost 5 years.

We shall be publishing a selection of our identification of the Crossrail hole plot peddling spivs…. Staring at 1200 Hs GMT today Sunday 21 September 2008 on the AADHIKARonline news pages and on the khoodeelaar! Web pages and web sites. web sites and internet pages…


The word of course has existed in the English language dictionaries for a while.

But its use was most appropriate last week and the timing and the prominence that Alex Salmond found himself involved in was noteworthy. In political polemic, and discourse, this was a moment worthy of commendation!
